The Master Tailors

We are a premier, full service tailoring company based in New York City. Alteration Specialists is raising the bar in the alteration space. Why settle for a lackluster experience with a local dry cleaner when you can experience the Alteration Specialists difference?

At Alteration Specialists, we are committed to providing a personalized experience that is tailored specifically for you. We pride ourselves on providing each client with a one-on-one consultation with an expert tailor. We make the process a collaborative and enjoyable one, where you can discuss your tailoring needs with a master tailor in a friendly environment.

Our process and pricing are completely transparent. That’s why we encourage everyone to take advantage of our risk-free (complimentary) consultations, where we’re happy to discuss your tailoring needs and provide a price quote.

Our emphasis is always on YOU, the client. That’s why we’re committed to working around your schedule. We make it very convenient to meet our experts. You can schedule an appointment by emailing us, visiting our website or calling us. We also accept walk-ins! In addition, we accommodate same day and next day alterations, express tailoring and rush alterations.

We invite you to visit one of our two locations, or call or email us today to set up an appointment for a consultation on any of our services, from more simple alterations to custom tailoring services.
